Magento makes 307 redirect to HTTPS instead of 301

Question

I have set my whole frontend to use HTTPS. But in the headers I see that if I go to http://example.com Magento redirects me to the HTTPS version using 307 redirect. I tried to change this by setting in .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

but it didn't help.

What should I do to make Magento use 301 redirect instead of 307?

(I am using CE 1.9.1.0)

Answer 1

The 307 redirect is in real a 307 Internal Redirect done by the Chrome Browser because the domain is known to require/support Strict Transport Security

So its not done by your Magento.

Answer 2

A typo in your sites configuration (maybe in your vhost settings for your webserver), it is nowhere defined in Magento.

Did a grep -R 307 in a clean Magento and found nothing related to your problem.
